ELLIE

AWL’s 2023 Mascot & Winner of Cutest Rescue Pet Contest

Cutest Rescue
Pet Contest

There are not enough words to thank the participants, Emily Fein of GBW: The Filling Station, Goldsboro Food Trucks - Skullies Street Q, the Animal Welfare League volunteers, volunteers who exhibited TNR Georgia Tanner Gurley, Angie Burnham Newton, and many, many others for the success of AWL's Cutest Rescue Pet Contest. Citizens of Wayne and surrounding counties stepped up, and the real winners were the homeless, stray, and injured animals who were helped by the success of the fundraiser.

NC Freedom Fest

This year’s Freedom Fest was held on September 9th, 2023

Downtown Goldsboro

Despite the bad weather causing us to take cover and build an ark, we are grateful for the opportunity to participate. We look forward to a drier event next year!
